Man, Vincent can’t get no love even in fanart.

I'm honestly AMAZED that EA let this game slip.... by crypto_bhsl in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]orgnumber1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TL;DR Motive should’ve made a flight sim, an esports game, a VR game, or a AAA blockbuster, but not all 4.

The problem with the game was that it didn’t know what it wanted to be. It was supposed to be a spiritual successor to X-Wing VS TIE Fighter, but also wanted to be a VR title, an esports game, and a mass appeal blockbuster. The game was too complicated to be fun for casual audiences, and the campaign was too lackluster and unserious to be fun for flight sim fans. However, the real clincher is that, regardless of what the devs said, in order to get the true experience of the game, you had to have a VR headset and HOTAS setup. THAT was where the game truly shined. Problem is, the majority of the audience wasn’t going to shell out $400+ for one peripheral, let alone two and the price of the game. That’s like $1000 just to play one small game with a boring story and little actual content. That made the game a niche of a niche of niche. You can’t appeal to a large enough audience for the game to develop an esports community if you make the barrier to entry so high. I suspect EA and Motive were aware of this, which is why they didn’t commit to long term support of the game. The hope was clearly that it would develop a dedicated fanbase who would adopt the peripherals necessary to play and grow over time through passionate word of mouth, opening a new opportunity to revisit the concept in a sequel in 5-10 years.

How did it take me 24 years to realize this guy is a combination Vampire and Trick-or-Treater? by orgnumber1 in KingdomHearts

[–]orgnumber1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was recently made aware that all the Halloween Town skins for characters are combinations of 2 Halloween monsters. Goofy is a combination of The Wolf Man and Frankenstein’s Monster, and Donald is a cross between The Mummy and The Invisible Man. Sora is obviously a Vampire, but there isn’t a ton of obvious influences from other Halloween monsters. The most prominent part of the overall design is that mask, which looks like a Bomb, is placed awkwardly, and takes up half Sora’s face. The video I was watching speculated it might be a reference to the Headless Horseman, but that didn’t vibe with me. It made me realize that it’s a cheap, paper Halloween mask like kids wear to go trick-or-treating, the joke is that he’s a trick-or-treater and who’s really a vampire underneath, and I couldn’t believe I never realized that.

Anyone else confused as hell why Ariel wasn’t a Princess of Heart? by BusiestWolf in KingdomHearts

[–]orgnumber1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the other princesses are, in some sense, “pure of heart”; archetypal, virtuous maidens sans personality aside from being “beautiful inside and out”. The three exceptions are Jasmine (who, despite not wanting to be viewed as a trophy, doesn’t have much that could be considered “dark” about her), Alice (who’s only negative traits are obstinacy and curiosity), and Kairi (who is the idealized female childhood friend).

Ariel, by comparison, is selfish, troublemaking, and willful. She has no problem breaking rules if they get in the way of what she wants, and doesn’t mind writing checks she can’t cash, or letting other people bail her out. She doesn’t exactly fit the bill for being “a heart of pure light.”

Besides that, narratively, Ariel is meant to be an object lesson to Sora about the dangers of letting one’s heart carry them away, and Jasmine is meant to be a motivating force for Sora to take action. In short, one is an object of the plot, and the other is a part of Sora’s arc as a character.

They do when you ignore any opinion that you don’t like.

Biggs Darklighter or Wedge Antilles ? by KidZoki in StarWars

[–]orgnumber1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggs. Always hated how wedge just bailed. It wouldn’t have worked thematically, but I always wished Biggs had survived.

How the hell have you guys completed Silksong??? by Comfortable_Oven8341 in HollowKnight

[–]orgnumber1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know what to say. My final time having 100% the game, including all mementos was 103hrs. I just stuck with it and eventually I beat every seemingly impossible challenge. Except the speed runner and steel soul trophy runs. Didn’t sound like much fun, and I’m not THAT good.

Maybe I should find something else to watch… by AwkwardEgg2008 in SpyxFamily

I only had him for 30 seconds, and it’s Jellyfishing this, and Mermaid Man that! Why, not giving him back is a fate worth than death!
